| Summary: | There are several options how to configure Web Map Service using several<br />map servers. GeoServer is one of most popular map servers nowadays.<br />GeoServer is able to read data from several sources. Very popular data<br />source is ESRI Shapefile. It is well documented and most of software<br />for geodata processing is able to read and write data in this format.<br />Another very popular data store is PostgreSQL/PostGIS object-relational<br />database. Both data sources has advantages and disadvantages and user<br />of GeoServer has to decide which one to use. The paper describes<br />comparison of performance of GeoServer Web Map Service when reading<br />data from ESRI Shapefile or from PostgreSQL/PostGIS database. |
